Details of the DICe algorithms

Open Wei-Meng515 opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Hi DICe Team,

Thank you for the great open source DIC program! I just have a couple questions on some details about the algorithms.

  1. Since I've only seen translation, rotation, shear and normal strains on the UI, does DICe only use the 1st order subset shape function?

  2. Which gray level interpolation function is used?

  3. Where can I find more information about the initialization methods we can select? How can we choose wisely according to our applications?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Wei-Meng515,

  1. There are second order polynomial shape functions available, but there isn't an option in the GUI to use them. You have to manually add a line to your params.xml file to use the second order shape functions: <Parameter name="shape_function_type" type="string" value="QUADRATIC" />
  2. There are several available, KEYS_FOURTH is the default
  3. There isn't any documentation in particular for the initialization methods, but if you can describe your application I can help you choose the right one.

Can I have the full name of the KEYS_FOURTH method, so I can look into it.
